Finished a small one................ from Exuberant Color


I made the top for this quilt in February, using the 6" Bow Tie dies so the blocks are 3" finished.  All of the fabrics in the blocks are Kaffe Fassett collective prints, a large variety in the larger piece and in the triangles.  I think I would call this exuberant pastel because of the large scale prints which appear darker.  It is 34.5" x 45".




The cute print on the back is flannel that I found on sale.  The binding is a gray print I found in my stack of grays.

I used Hobbs 80/20 batting in ...

An old UFO off the to do list from The Cozy Quilter

My 10 year old Sashiko project is finally completely done and can go out on display!


I stitched in the ditch around the navy part and then did three rows of quilting in the border.  The binding is on.  I didn't do any quilting in the sashiko panel--I could still add some if I decide later that it needs it. 



The backing is a fat quarter I had in my stash. 



I had a chance to knit several times in the last week and added another 5 inches to my scarf.  It is 56" long now. 

I finished the ...

Orange Month for the RSC from The Cozy Quilter

Orange is the colour for June for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge so I dug into my 2.5" squares bin and pulled out all of the orange squares.  I cut a few from my orange fat quarter bin to add some variety before making 6 orange hollow nine patch blocks. I am getting quite a stack of these blocks!  When I run out of the centre squares, I will put the blocks together to make a quilt. 


I continue to knit away on my scarf when the mood hits me...Maybe it will be done in time to wear it ...

I have been on a quilting-kick the last couple of weeks and just finished another stunning quilt.  This design is Crisscross, an old-fashioned modern quilt pattern that is super quick and easy and includes 8 quilt sizes.

This is the Baby size, sweetly displayed on my grandson's crib.  :)

This week's activities from The Cozy Quilter

In a previous post, I was lamenting the thickness of the pitcher plant stem in my rug hooking project.  A couple of hooking friends suggested I try hooking  a single line of stitches with two strands of yarn.  This looks so much better!  If you look at the part at the lower end of the stem where the green leaves are hooked around the stem, it looks to be the right width now. You can see from this picture that I got almost all of the leaves done this week.  I hope to move on to the flowers this week ...

Sunshine Baby Quilt in Lazy Afternoon by Zen Chic! from Busy Hands Quilts

With Summer quickly approaching and the sun bringing the flowers to life, we're releasing a new quilt design called Sunshine!  Maybe where you live it gets too hot in the summer to be outside a whole lot, so summer is actually quilting season, not just the winter!

Sunshine is a brand new quilt pattern looks great in the modern Lazy Afternoon fabric collection with its burnt orange prints mixed with pale pink, blue, and yellow.

The Sunshine quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop here.


Wake up to Sunshine


Bring the sunshine to your home with ...

Rail Fence from Urban Quilter

This is another of the quilts I made from the big bin of cowboy fabrics. I had a lot of yardage left of these three fabrics so I put together a simple rail-fence baby-sized quilt. That seemed appropriate for cowboy fabrics.

Basement doings.................... from Exuberant Color


 I was in the basement doing laundry and finished up a few other tasks.  One was stacking the trays with the 2" x 3.5" rectangles.  I store these in a large bin with trays of 2 other size rectangles.


I found this partially sewn project.  I could slice and sew the strata and make another section like the first or I could cut it into 2 sections and add stripes to both sides of the sewn section, lining up the fabrics to continue the design.  The first option would make one piece 24.5" square.  The second option would ...

Beth and Carol’s Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Lots of quilts to share today!

Beth and her friend Carol have been busy making donation quilts and they decided to send a dozen to Many Hands and Many Hearts ❤️ 

Yep, they were all quilted and bound…all I had to do was add the label and get them delivered.




Beth made this one. I love the animal panel she used- it is so bright and colorful. 
Prefect for lifting someone’s spirit.




A fun little giraffe quilt made by Beth.  Every time I see a yellow and black combination I wonder why I don't make one myself.

Happy Easter! from The Cozy Quilter

Happy Easter to all who celebrate this holiday!  We had brunch with my husband's family yesterday so the rest of the weekend will be quiet. My niece helped me to make a bunny charcuterie board for the brunch yesterday and I managed to get a picture before people started to nibble.  I will have to make more of these for other family gatherings. 



I only have one more quilt that needs a hanging sleeve for the quilt show. I hope to get to that this weekend. I am one of those people that likes to have things done ahead ...

Half-Square Triangle Baby Quilts from A Little Bit Biased

Hi friends!  Today, I have two more really simple baby quilts that I want to share with you!  Last week I shared a simple patchwork quilt.  And this week, I have two Half-Square Triangle quilts that I recently gifted to two new mommas in my neighborhood.  Both had baby girls!  It's such a joy to spread the {quilty} love!

(Sidenote: I finished all 3 of these quilts a few months ago and I'm just now getting around to blogging about them.  Just wanted you to know that I didn't whip all of them up this past week ...

Progress, gifted quilts, and a thief......................... from Exuberant Color


A little progress was made on the Tilda 16 patch blocks, but the most time yesterday was spent cutting batting and piecing backs for two quilts.  I need to cut more batting today while the table is cleaned off.


In case you are wondering, the friend who came over yesterday to choose 2 baby quilts chose these two.  My son's friends are becoming grandparents for the first time so I give them one for the baby's house and one for the grandparents' house.  

"Who, me?  No, you must be mistaken.  I did not knock down the feeder, unscrew ...

Binding and Finn's Approval from The Cozy Quilter

It's been a busy week and I have not had much time to sew but I did manage to hand sew the bindings on the two quilts I showed in my last post.  The shadow box quilt has gray binding, the same as the shadows on the quilt. 


Finn approves of the potato chip baby quilt.  


Here is a close up of the backing fabric--I love the paper boats print!



My daughter's book blanket is coming along with nine new squares added in February. 


These squares represent two books read in March so far. 


Here are the books ...

A TaDa Moment! from The Cozy Quilter

This afternoon, I added the final stitches to my Winter Woods cross stitch!  There were lots of little stars to add in the sky of several pictures and a bit of backstitching, but not very much. I love this picture and look forward to getting it framed to hang up somewhere in my house next winter.  We have lots of snow right now, although not as much as many places north of us where roads have been closed for days on end as the snowplows try to clear the snow away. 


I spent some time at the sewing machine this ...

My Favorite “Go To” Baby Quilt Patterns from Modern Sunbonnet Sue

Quilters like certain patterns to stitch for baby quilts. These patterns are conducive to smaller block sizes, juvenile cotton prints, and easy stitching. I have made a fair number of baby quilts over the years. One-patch blocks like 9-patch, tumbling blocks, or parallelogram shapes are classic designs. Alphabet blocks, animal blocks, and fussy-cut pieces for […]

It's finished! from Exuberant Color


I found a nice stripe in the mid-tone of the quilt for the binding and got it sewn on.  This quilt is 39" square.








The backing is a grayed purple even though it seems to be brown in some lights.  The quilt is much softer looking in person, not such high contrast.

I used Hobbs 80/20 in this quilt.





The close up shots show some of the colors in the quilt, like this green print.






There are browns, rust, blue and gold tones.








Burgundy check and a burnt orange are in this shot.







Up in the top left is ...

A little fabric therapy................ from Exuberant Color


I made my first fabric purchase this year.  Yes, it's Tilda again and yes, it was pricey because it is a new line, but I needed a perk.  











I bought the smallest pack available, fat 8ths plus 1/2 yard of my favorite fabric.





I finished quilting the baby quilt last night but haven't trimmed it yet.  That will happen today and I'll find a binding fabric and hopefully get it finished.





I was just about out of the cookies in my freezer so it was time to bake something else.  I love this cherry topped cake ...

I'm Still Quilting from Quilty Folk

 I keep running out of time to write up this post. The 'Folksy Tree & Baskets' quilt top is finally finished! All the applique done and dusted.*sigh

Getting the birds stitched down
I am so thrilled about the birds on this quilt! They look very fat and happy.

And a finished quilt top!
It just feels like they make this very brown and blue quilt come alive.

So happy with the scrapped together
background fabric look
When all the birds, berries and leaves on the tree were attached, then I realized that the baskets needed just a little bit extra ...

Slow Stitching Report from The Cozy Quilter

I finished off the second diamond hand quilting this week and then started on the squares at the top of the Arizona quilt. I'm working on quilting a quarter inch along the gray background. As I quilt, I am thinking about what I am going to do next. I'm still undecided about whether to quilt a circle in the middle of each square...we will see. 


I have finished the tree section now on my Winter Woods cross stitch.  This picture was taken before I was quite done.  The next section is started now.  Who knows?  Can I ...
